#69: Control Freak Rehab: The Art of Accepting What Is
Nov 13, 202550 minS6
In this episode, Coach Ellen Melon gets real about what happens when our inner control freak takes the wheel — and how to find peace when life refuses to cooperate. At 32 weeks pregnant and freshly unemployed, Ellen shares honest stories from the last few months: hospital visits with her toddler, sleepless nights in an Ice Castle, money talks with her partner Mike, and the humbling realization that control is just fear dressed up as productivity. Through the lens of Al-Anon wisdom, HALT (hungry, angry, lonely, tired), and a few hard-earned lessons from motherhood and partnership, Ellen explores three types of acceptance — accepting events (like a sick child or a change in plans), people (especially the ones you love most), and even institutions (where judgment and self-righteousness sneak in). This is a conversation about surrendering without giving up, finding grace in chaos, and remembering that control doesn't keep us safe — connection does. If you've ever felt powerless, impatient, or just done with things not going your way, this one's for you. Affirmation: You are capable of accepting what is. You are capable of letting go of what was. You are capable of having faith in what will be.

#68: Intro to Shadow Work and Deepest Fear Inventory
May 14, 202531 minS6
In this solo episode, Ellen dives into the unconscious mind and explores how shadow work might be the missing link between what we say we want and what we actually attract. Drawing from Dr. Carolyn Elliott's book Existential Kink , and referencing the well-known quote from A Return to Love by Marianne Williamson, this episode introduces listeners to a transformative practice: the Deepest Fear Inventory . Ellen shares personal reflections on craving change — a new house, job, or creative path — while grappling with internal resistance. Could there be a hidden part of us that's turned on by rejection? Addicted to chaos? Secretly comforted by being overlooked? This episode challenges listeners to ask brave, unsettling questions and walks through a 5-step shadow work exercise to help uncover, name, and release deep fears that may be blocking personal growth. If you've ever felt stuck, cyclical, or frustrated by your own patterns, this one's for you.

Founder Pro raises that to 200 credits per month and adds full Booking Probability access, unlimited Magic Match, Apollo enrichment credits, and data export capabilities.

Agency tiers have no base fee. You pay per managed client and per talent profile. Agency Standard is $199 per client per month; Agency Pro is $399 per client per month. Both add $39 per talent profile per month. Your own team's user seats are always free.
What is a talent profile?
A talent profile represents one person (founder, executive, or spokesperson) you are booking onto podcasts. It includes their bio, topics, headshots, and outreach history. Team plans include 5 profiles; agency plans are pay-as-you-go.
Can I switch plans later?
Yes, at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately; downgrades apply at the end of the current billing period. Contact support if you need help migrating between plan families.
